I have a piece of code that traps the malloc/calloc calls, keeping track   
of all alocations, and can report about pointers not freed, or not used   
correctly.
It's very old, came from DDJ 1990 I think, and I adapted it to DJGPP.

Similair tools can be found from this period.

You simply add a few lines to your code to link in the extra code. When   
compiling your production version, simply leave out a #define to skip   
this code.

If you're interested, give me call, and I'll post it to you.
